This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

The existing information collection requires applicants and recipients of Federal financial assistance, unless the applicant is an individual or Federal awarding agency that is excepted from those requirements, to register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which they have an active Federal award or an application or plan under consideration by an agency pursuant to 2 CFR subtitle A, chapter I, and part 25. This facilitates prime awardee reporting of sub-award and executive compensation data pursuant to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended (31 U.S.C. 6101 note). This information collection requires that all prime financial assistance awardees, subject to reporting under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, register and maintain their registration in SAM.gov.
The proposed amendment would update the Financial Assistance General Representations and Certifications to align with updated executive branch guidance including Department of Justice “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination” (July 29, 2025) (https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1409486/dl) and Executive Order (E.O.) 14173 of January 21, 2025, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/31/2025-02097/ending-illegal-discrimination-and-restoring-merit-based-opportunity) applicable to all entities receiving grants, cooperative agreements, and financial assistance such as loans, insurance, and direct appropriations.
